I was under the impression that it's only the US and the retail marketing thugs that make a big deal about halloween these days.

Plus, it makes it really nasty to read.

I know that some consider "corporate grey" drab, but it's a hell of a lot easier too read than this white (and some red) text on black!

Ugh!

p.s. and yes, the above is on a 21" monitor with res' set at 1600x1200. Oh and whoever designed the "welcome" banner at the top, correct grammar would be "welcome to Kanotix.com" (OK,yes I'm just off to go and stand in "pedants corner").

Halloween is just fun from my agnostic point of view, and and actually based on quite old pre-christian traditions. "The US" (who's that, the current administration?) did not even dream to exist those days ...

If you don't like retailers picking every possible reason to grab your money, simply don't visit their cathedrales.

If for any reason you don't like the theme, simply change it back to one of the other themes provided. There is SilverEngine (our usual default one), and 64bit - a very lite one.

As this theme is all about fun, the banner is of course, too. It's grammar is playing with Kanotix' "Germaniac" roots.
